HXafrica Joins SiBAN: Bridging Real Estate Innovation and Blockchain Standards

The Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN) is proud to welcome HXafrica into its membership fold. This new collaboration brings together blockchain expertise and proptech innovation and offers an opportunity for both SiBAN and HXafrica to shape how real assets and digital finance converge in Africa.

About HXafrica & Its Recent Advancements

HXafrica has been admitted into the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Regulatory Incubation (RI) Program as a digital assets offering platform, a step signaling preliminary alignment with regulated capital market innovation frameworks. HXafrica itself announced this milestone on its LinkedIn page, noting that it had “just been admitted to the incubation stage” under SEC oversight. This admission places HXafrica among a growing cohort of fintech and proptech firms operating under defined regulatory guardrails as they scale new value propositions.

Beyond regulatory alignment efforts, HXafrica has drawn attention for its community goodwill initiatives that connect its brand with grassroots users. In Abuja, HXafrica ran a free-transportation campaign, deploying buses under the “Imperial City free bus” scheme, offering free rides to residents across specific routes, “no payment, no stress; just hop in and go.” Such acts reflect a willingness to directly engage and serve communities beyond the investor class, emphasizing social utility even before full operational scale.

Building on its growth trajectory, in September 2025, HXafrica appointed Babajide Agbaje as its Chief Operating Officer (COO). Agbaje brings over a decade of experience in telecom, infrastructure, and operations, having held leadership roles at Huawei and Globacom. His operational expertise is expected to support HXafrica’s tech-enabled real estate ambitions and scalability.

These developments signal HXafrica’s pivot toward deeper technological integration, operational maturity, and a more compelling value proposition for both retail and institutional investors.

Joining SiBAN

From SiBAN’s perspective, HXafrica’s participation enhances the Association’s ecosystem by adding expertise from a sector (real estate) that intersects with tokenization, property-backed assets, and digital investment models. As blockchain adoption in Nigeria evolves, the intersection of real-world assets (like property) and digital finance will require robust standards, governance frameworks, and compliance guardrails. HXafrica’s presence will help bring practical perspectives to those conversations.

For HXafrica, joining SiBAN opens doors to policy engagements, standards development, regulatory navigation, and technical peers in blockchain, DeFi, tokenization, and related areas. It gives the company a seat at the table in shaping how the regulation, interoperability, and consumer protection frameworks develop in Nigeria’s digital assets space.

Shared Opportunities & Collaboration Focus

As one of the recently seven (7) organizations admitted into the SEC RI and ARIP in 2024 for the digital assets sector, HXafrica Tthrough this membership, will join SiBAN toboth organizations can pursue joint initiatives such as:

Tokenized Real Estate Frameworks: Working on clarity around custodial arrangements, asset backing, fractionalization rules, investor disclosures, and regulatory boundaries.
Compliance & Oversight Models: Addressing AML/CFT, KYC, valuation standards, and audit practices for property-backed digital instruments.
Technical Integration and Interoperability: Exploring how HXafrica’s property exchange platform might integrate with blockchain protocols, wallets, bridges, or token standards that align with SiBAN’s infrastructure priorities.
Investor Education & Consumer Protection: Designing education campaigns and safeguards for novice property/investment buyers moving into tokenized models.

These collaborative areas reinforce SiBAN’s mission to translate industry experience into policy dialogue, regulatory engagement, and trustworthy operational practices that regulators and market participants can adopt.
